The Ontario provincial election culminated last week with a disastrous and spectacular defeat of Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals. The outgoing governing Liberals, for the first time in the party’s history, lost their official party status and won only seven seats, one short of official status. The Progressive Conservatives, meanwhile, won 76 seats, and the NDP 40. The Liberals lost the government after 15 years in power, led by Dalton McGuinty from 2003-13 who won two majority and one minority governments, and in the last four years under Ms. Wynne.

The Liberals will be under attack from all sides in the next election campaign, but Liberals say they have a good story to tell and some say they need to sharpen up their communications strategy before it's too late.
